what i find funny about all these survivalist wackos (like alex jones) is on the one hand they predict the collapse of the economy, and the dollar... on the other hand they try to sell you all this gear...what use would money be to them if they think it's going to be worthless? should be your first red flag right there

this stuff is designed to attract the clinically depressed and the paranoid, and there's no shortage of paranoid free software folk who think corporations are personally out to get *them* lol i guess thats why i hear more about this stuff here and on /.

Modern man may think that his current civilization is the best there ever was in this solar system. However, the moon and Mars tell otherwise. If only you had a telescope that you could look at the moon with.

simple, i turned 29 last week, still have no retirement savings, if i have a kid now, i wont even be able to save for retirement for another 20 years, which means i'll never retire and probably end up in some gov't "compassionate" euthanasia program

in the 90's reverse mortgage were a big thing, in the 2000's they called them home equity loans... basically convincing seniors to borrow against their house so that when they die the bank gets it instead of their kids

what's more frustrating is we're going to be paying higher taxes on lower salaries than they enjoyed, everything costs more and we're getting fewer gov't services, but they don't want us to touch their govt pensions lol

i've even been disappointed with legitimate builders lately, they constantly ask you to install all the mods the other servers are running (making the experience just as bland) or they record your entire map without asking you if it's okay

for a while people said "there'll be more mods when 048 comes out" then it was "corernote's back, he'll write plenty of mods" but the only modder i follow with much interest is paramat cuz i can't think of anyone else writing anything

well i simply use geoip to ban people who seem to come from a whole bunch of different places, nonetheless, people are connecting to servers via proxies... so this griefing thing is not about to go away

arb: most of the "mods" showing up in the list on vanilla are the result of modpacks like worldedit, and the components that make up minetest_game itself (which is, technically, just a collection of mods also)
